Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar, '7, 1916.

' Application filed May 26, 1915. Serial No. 30,570.

To all whom it may concern:

following is aspecification.

\ This inventionrelates to' a machine for cleaning and polishing rolls of rolling mil-ls, plate glass, hard wood floors, or anything requiring a smooth or oil finish surface, and has for its object to provide a portable cleaning machine. i I Another object-of the invention is to provide a roll cleaning device having-means for cleaning a plurality of mill rolls at one time.

Another object of the invention is to pro-' vide a portable roll cleaning device having a stationarymotor for operating the same.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a portable roll cleaner having a carriage upon which it travels.

A further object of the invention is to provide a portable roll cleaner moving means whereby its position relative to therolls being cleaned may be quickly 'ad-.

justed' With the above and other objects 1n view which will be'more fully describedzhereinafter, we have invented the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which v Figure 1 is a sectionalelevational View of our-machine shown in operative position,

Fig. 2 is an end elevation view thereof shown, Fig. 3 is a top plan' view thereof, Fig. 4 is a fragmental side elevation of a casing and, Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail sec tional view of a cleaning and polishing wheel.

Like reference characters indicate like partsthroughout the specification and in the several viewsin the drawings in which 6 indicates a casing having a web 7 upon which is formed a bearing 8 for one end of ed in the bearing'IO formed on said casing. "dshaft 9 carries a bevel gear 11 which rates the bevel gear 12 on the shaft .13.

A gear 14 is carried by the gear 12 which operates the gear wheel 15 which in turn directly operates the pinion 16 fixedv on the shaft 17 and indirectly rotates the pinion 18 clamped between the frusto conical members 24- and 25 which are tightened upon said disks by means of the units 26 screw threaded upon the ends of said last named shafts. The flexibility of said rolls'21 and '22 may be regulated by. tightening or. loosening said units 26. Collars 27 arefixed upon shafts 17 and 18 against which the members 24 abuta I A carriage 28 hasone end pivotally mounted at 29 to said casing 6 and its other end, carries a rod 30 with cams 31-operating 1n pockets 33, tlon of the crank 34' fixed to the rod- 30, will cause them to engage the under wall 35 of the casing 6,.a'nd thereby change the relative position of said casing to the. rolls 36 and 3.7 which are being cleaned and polished. The carriage is provided with rollers 38 and 39 'which are adapted to rest :upon any. suitable able handles 40 and 41 by means of which the device may be readily manipulated.

A flexible device shaft 42 connects the shaft 9 to the motorv 43 by means ofwhich themachine is driven.

The casing 6 isprovided at one'end with recesses 44 and 45 in which the cleaning rolls 21 and 22 seat. The carriage 28 is provided with standards 46 and 47 between which said casing seats.

The rolls 21 and 22 may be 'made to have relatively hard peripheral surfaces'by tightening the units 26 thereby very tightly binding said disks 23 together; in that conwhich, by means of the operadition the rolls will clean scale or'other adhering matter from the'rolls 36 and 37' and by loosening the units 26 the disk surfaces will become more pliable and will act as polishers. The disks 23 are of a greater di-. ameter than their'binding members 24 and 25 whereby the disk edges will overlie the edges of said. binding members thusguarding against said binding members coming into contact with the rolls being cleaned and polished. The shape of. said'members 24 and 25 also act to stiffen them and make them more tightly bind the disks together than if they were fiat disks.

Having now described our invention that which we claim to be new'and desire to procure by Letters Patent is 1. The described device consisting of a casin rollers whereby said casing travels and polishing rolls mounted in vertical alinement with one another.

2. -The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby said casing'travels and polishing rolls mounted in vertical alinementwithone another and projecting. from one end of said casing.

3. The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby said casing travels and polishing rollsmounted in vertical alinement with one another and projecting from one end of said casing, and one of said rolls projecting above the upper wall of said casing.

4: The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby 'saidcasing travels and polishing rolls mounted in vertical alinement with one another and projecting from one end of said casing, one of said rolls projecting above the upper wall of said casing, and another of said rolls projecting below the bottom Wall of said casing.

5. The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby said casing travels and polishing rolls mounted in vertical alinement WltliOIlG another and projecting from one end of said casingfand an adjustable bearing for said rollers.

6-. The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby said casing travels andpolishing rolls mounted in vertical" alinement with one another-and projecting from one end of said casing, an adjustable bearing for said rollers, whereby they may be angularly adjusted, means for adjusting said bearings, and said means consisting of a cam member.

7 The described device consisting of a casing, rollers whereby said casing travels and polishing rolls mounted in vertical alinement with one another and projecting from one end of said casing, amadjustable bearing for said rollers, whereby they may be angularly adjusted, and said rolls pro-' jecting beyond one end of said casing.

8. The described device consisting of a casing having top, bottom and end walls, a

carriage whereby said casing is mounted and polishing'rolls projecting beyond one of said end walls.

9. The described device consisting of a casing having top, bottom and end walls, a carriage whereby said casing is mounted and polishing rolls projecting beyond one of said end'walls, and means for operating said rolls, to rotate in opposite directions.

10. The described device consisting of a casing having top, bottom and end walls, a carriage. whereby said casing is mounted and polishing rolls projecting beyond one" casing, rollers mounted longitudinally thereof whereby the casing may travel transversely of its length.

13. The described device consisting of a casing, rollers mounted longitudinally thereof whereby the casing may travel transversely of its length, and polishlng 1'0lls mounted on said casing and rotatable in a direction opposite to the line of travel of i said carriage.

14. The described device consisting of a casing, rollers mounted longitudinally thereof whereb the casing may travel trans versely of its length, polishing rolls mounted on said casing and rotatable in a direction opposite to the line of travel of said. carriage, and means for rotating said rolls in opposite directions.

In testimony whereof we aifix or signatures in presence of two witnesses.
